Gold snaps 5-day losing run; climbs Rs 700 to Rs 98,520/10 g
Agency: New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI) Cutting short the five-day losing streak, gold prices rebounded by Rs 700 to Rs 98,520 per 10 grams in the national capital on Wednesday due to fresh buying by stockists, according to the All India Sarafa Association. On Tuesday, the precious metal of 99.9 per cent purity had closed at Rs 97,820 per 10 grams. In the national capital, gold of 99.5 per cent purity increased Rs 650 to Rs 98,200 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) on Wednesday. The yellow metal had settled at Rs 97,550 per 10 grams in the previous market close. 'Gold prices in the domestic market showed healthy gains on the back of a sharp fall in the rupee. The rupee depreciated due to a jump in crude oil prices and uncertainty about the US-India trade deal," Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities at HDFC Securities, said. On Wednesday, the rupee depreciated 52 paise to close at 87.43 (provisional) against the US dollar on uncertainty over the India-US trade deal after US President Donald Trump hinted at tariff rates of around 20-25 per cent ahead of the August 1 deadline. Additionally, silver prices climbed by Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,14,000 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes) on Wednesday. It had traded flat at Rs 1,13,000 per kg on Tuesday, as per the Sarafa Association. On the global front, spot gold is trading flat at USD 3,330.33 per ounce. 'Gold is trading flat…as investors await a slate of key US macroeconomic data, including Q2 GDP, ADP employment, pending home sales, and Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate decision. 'While the Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, markets are closely watching for guidance on the policy outlook, especially amid intense political pressure and mixed economic signals," Kaynat Chainwala, AVP-Commodity Research at Kotak Securities, said. However, spot silver is trading lower at USD 38.09 per ounce in the overseas markets. 'Investors will also be closely watching for US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's commentary for any forward-looking cues. 'Further, the GDP data will offer fresh insight into the strength of the American economy and potentially influence the Fed's tone going forward," Abans Financial Services' Chief Executive Officer Chintan Mehta said.

Gold rate today: Gold falls Rs 500 to Rs 98,020/10g in Delhi; silver slips Rs 1,000 amid easing tariff fears
Gold prices declined by Rs 500 to Rs 98,020 per 10 grams in the national capital on Monday, marking the fourth straight day of losses, as investor demand weakened after a trade deal between the US and the European Union reduced safe-haven interest. The data was released by the All India Sarafa Association. On Saturday, gold of 99.9% purity had settled at Rs 98,520 per 10 grams, already down Rs 600 from the previous session. On Monday, gold of 99.5% purity dropped to Rs 97,750 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes) from Rs 98,520 on Saturday, PTI reported. Silver prices also retreated sharply, declining by Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,13,000 per kilogram (inclusive of all taxes), from Rs 1,14,000 per kg in the previous session. In global markets, spot gold and silver traded flat at $3,337.95 and $38.17 per ounce, respectively. 'Gold traded in a positive but flat range near $3,335 per ounce, as strength in the dollar index limited gains last week,' said Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst, Commodity and Currency at LKP Securities. The recent US-EU trade agreement, which includes a 15% tariff on most European goods entering the US alongside EU commitments to invest heavily in American industries, has contributed to the price pressure. A similar agreement was signed with Japan last week. 'Bullion prices declined last week due to a drop in demand for safe-haven assets amid easing tariff concerns,' said Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst – Commodities, HDFC Securities, as quoted PTI. Chintan Mehta, CEO of Abans Financial Services, added that market participants will be closely watching upcoming US macroeconomic data, including jobless claims and Q2 GDP figures. President Donald Trump's recent reassurance on the independence of the US Federal Reserve and a softened stance toward Fed Chair Jerome Powell have further buoyed the US dollar, Gandhi noted. 'Both factors contributed to the rise in the US dollar, which has risen for the third consecutive day and is negatively impacting precious metal prices,' he said.
